HIP, COXARTHROSIS, ARTHROPLASTYAbstract
Total hip arthroplasty is considered a viable solution to acute and chronic hip injuries, which significantly improves the quality of life of patients. A descriptive and retrospective study was conducted with the aim of evaluating patients who underwent cemented total hip arthroplasty with a RALCA® total hip prosthesis over a decade (2010-2020) at the “Abel Santamaría Cuadrado” Hospital (Pinar del Río). Variables such as age, sex, etiological diagnosis and incidence of associated diseases were taken into account for the research. The Harris Hip Score was used to evaluate the final results. The study universe consisted of all patients who underwent this procedure during the study period (120) and the sample studied was 90 patients. Theoretical, empirical and statistical methods were taken into account, the information was processed in a microcomputer and the results were entered into tables for better study and understanding. Males predominated with 52 patients, the highest number of cases was found between the ages of 61 and 70 years. Primary coxarthrosis was the etiologically most prevalent with 36 patients, arterial hypertension was the most frequent associated disease in 36 cases, and the most frequent postoperative complication was paralytic ileus. With the use of the RALCA® prosthesis in this study, excellent results were obtained in 71 patients when evaluated at 3 years of evolution, with an average of (89.3) in the Harris score.
